iBeaken visitor engagement and activation
Sharing of your stories with the public is important to make them aware of the importance of the history and heritage. Although the romans said ‘Nil novi sub sole’, it is better to know your history, not to make the same mistakes. It is important to create a good communication mix of panels, web presence, mobile and physical guidance. iBeaken animates the museum digitally. And we don’t do that with a specific device and applications but with a mobile platform that is flexible to use and available for ALL smartphones on existing mobile operator networks or WIFI. Our clients are rapidly operational with a low cost investment. A loyalty program engages better with your guests and puts you in power to re-activate him afterwards. That is much more efficient and sustainable than to push your guest away to Facebook. iBeaken is a Belgian product, active in several european countries like Sweden, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, England and France...
iBeaken, visitor engagement and activation
iBeaken works as a ‘lean company’ : we engage the best freelancers or suppliers. You cannot find us in a large office building with unnecessary costs – the contact with our clients is fast, efficient and warm. Our prices are more than reasonable. Under the lead of Jo Van Hove, the number of collaborators vary from project to project. On average around 25 dynamic people or companies work with us : developers, designers, translators, steelcutters, painters, etc... Most of them work with us since years ! Together we realise simple local or big european projects with specific demands.
Lean company, big team !!

...a burdon !
apps are not more than a smart way to bind a client to a smartphone brand expensive to build and maintain they exclude people and are a short term investment

...ready for the future !
independent of platforms and technology fast to deploy and easy to maintain and are a long term investment
connect through wifi
It’s better to invest in a good wifi system than spend a lot of money in an app.
iBeaken/Museana works over wireless networks like WIFI. A closer engagement with the user, rapid content updates and a small learning curve are the most important advantages. A good WIFI network has more advantages !! Besides the access to content in iBeaken and users email, you can also monitor humidity, control access, communicate with staff, map visitor movements, protect artworks, stream audio and video, manage exhibit installations, etc...

digital animation
It’s not anymore ‘from this era’ to place dry panels in the landscape. Today the public asks for ‘digital animation’ behind a QR code, NFC or augmented reality. But the most important thing is that you create your own community !! You create, manage and publish your own content, in your own house style, with your own URL. Your image and history is of utmost importance...
